Chapter 256: 255. Not Being Friends (Time Alliance+5)

"If your vending machines are more distinctive and collectible than mine, then I am not stingy with money, and I am willing to buy them."

Pointing to the vending machines in the house, Bauer looked smug.

At a glance, Li Du knew that his own vending machines would not be noticed by others. The machines here are all unique, and they may be collector's editions just like Santa's green bottle.

Hans showed a surprised expression when he saw it, and said, "What kind of vending machines are these? Why haven't I encountered them before?"

Bauer walked up to the first machine and said, "Come on, let me introduce you. This is the 007 version of the special agent vending machine. It can inspire your inner agent potential."

"When you buy a Coke, it will ask you to enter your name, and then you need to cross obstacles to reach a specific location within 70 seconds, sing the 007 theme song loudly, and in this way, you will get a 007 movie ticket."

Li Du looked at the huge vending machine and said, "Is this not a conventional machine? Is it specially produced for the 007 movie advertisement or in cooperation with the 007 movie company?"

Bauer nodded and said, "Yes, it was originally put on the market to advertise the movie."

Hans said with a smile: "This machine is interesting. I just want to buy a can of Coke, but I have to go through many adventures to get a movie ticket. Is it true that if the adventure fails, the money will be put into the vending machine for nothing?"

"Here is a vending machine where you can buy Coke without taking risks or spending money." Bauer pointed to a machine behind, and said, "One can for one reward."

Hans went up and hugged the machine vigorously, and with a 'grunt' sound, a can of red Coke rolled out.

The vending machines here in Bauer are very distinctive. In addition, there are robot vending machines, dancing Coke machines, fine salt and pepper bottle vending machines, pinball vending machines and so on.

Each of these machines will have a very high return rate when placed on the street. In comparison, their two vending machines are too ordinary.

Hans didn't mention his two vending machines again. They visited Bauer's villa, tasted several rare drinks on the market, and then left the villa area.

After leaving the house, Li Du said with emotion: "I like these collectors so much. They really know how to collect everything. It's crazy to buy a bunch of bottles for tens of thousands of dollars!"

Godzilla followed suit and nodded: "You actually like collecting bottles!"

Hans said: "What's so strange? Godzilla, if you had money, would you collect hamburgers?"

Godzilla shook his head firmly: "No!"

Li Du laughed and said, "Who is so stupid to collect hamburgers?"

Godzilla said: "I collect sausages, sausages are delicious, and they are easy to store when dried."

Li Du: "..."

The products sold this time were the most novel to Li Du ever. A dozen glass bottles of Coca-Cola were sold for 70,000 yuan. Many people would not believe it.

Hans said: "This is normal. Doesn't anyone in your country collect wine bottles? There are many people in Britain and France who like to collect red wine bottles."

Li Du thought for a while, and it is indeed the case. Many people in China also like to collect wine bottles and cigarette cases, especially wine bottles. He read the news before and remembered that some Moutai wine bottles in the early years were very expensive.

Thinking about it this way, collecting Coke bottles is not so difficult to understand.

Furthermore, as Hans said, Coca-Cola has even formed a unique culture in the United States, and there are quite a few people who collect Coke bottles.

The two vending machines were easy to deal with. They found a grocery store and sold them for 2,000 yuan each, and they got 4,000 yuan after changing hands.

After splitting the money, they head to the steampunk hotel.

As soon as he entered the door, Iron Man smiled and waved when he saw them: "Look who is here? The fighting hero of Los Angeles! Come on, I have developed some new drinks here, I think you will like it."

There are quite a lot of treasure hunters in the hotel. Thirty or forty people are scattered in the lobby chatting and drinking, like a tavern.

Seeing the two, the treasure hunters greeted them one after another, and treated them with more enthusiasm than before:

"Boss Li, come here, we are discussing Chinese culture, I think you can help us a lot."

"We've got cold beer here, guys, come over and have a drink."

"You all come to Phoenix on such a hot day? It seems that another big warehouse has come out."

Hans responded enthusiastically to everyone, Li Du sat at the bar, and Nikki, dressed as a man, poured a glass of green wine and handed it to him.

He took a sip, the wine was sweet and sour, with a slight mint flavor, it tasted good, and he felt very familiar.

"What kind of wine is this? It's a bit similar to the sour rice wine I made."

Nikki said: "Don't take yourself too seriously. This is my unique recipe, not your sour rice wine. Of course, the base wine is indeed your sour rice wine."

Li Du smiled and said: "No wonder I feel familiar, but you are right, this wine has a richer taste than sour rice wine, and the mint in it is just right."

Nikki poked her neck happily, like a proud little swan.

In the evening, they went back to their room to rest. After a while, someone knocked on the door. Godzilla went to open the door, and Rick and his son appeared in front of the door.

Seeing the shirtless Godzilla who looked like a violent machine, Rick and his son swallowed their saliva first, and the expressions on their faces became more respectful.

Li Du stood up and asked, "Hello, both of you, what can I do for you?"

I haven't seen each other for a few days. The previous injuries of the father and son have improved a lot, but it seems that a few more injuries have been added.

Rick the dog ear said: "Li, we are here to make peace with you. You said you would give us a chance, right?"

Li Du said: "Yes, I keep my word. For the sake of helping me in Los Angeles, I choose to forgive you for planning my affairs in the casino."

After hearing this, both Rick and his son showed happy expressions, and the younger Rick said first: "Then we are friends?"

Li Du sneered and said, "No, I forgave you for framing me before. It has nothing to do with whether we can be friends. In fact, I don't think we are suitable to be friends."

In this way, Rick and his son's expressions were a bit ugly, and Rick Jr. frowned and said, "Li, we even offended Frank and Yorke to help you, but you think we can't be friends?"

Li Du waved his hand and said: "Frank and York are a pair of trash, it's true, offending them is tantamount to causing trouble, but you didn't offend them, believe me, they didn't pay attention to what you did at all."

Gou Er's face darkened, and he said, "What do you mean by that? Li, you're going too far!"

Li Du said: "I admit that I am not a good person, but why did I go too far? I have made peace with you, haven't I? What else do you want?"

The dog's ears pinched the bridge of his nose wearily, and said, "We still want your help, Li, please help us."
